Accompanying this report is that of Presi
dent Cyrus Northrop, state examiner. He
regrets that Greek is at present excluded
from many high scools, which are in other
respects Hfst CLASS. In conclusion Presi-
dent Northrop says:
Looking over the work OF the past wear
as seen in the examinations. and in my
personal inspection OF schools visited, am
very much encouraged, and can take only
hopeful view of the future. There are
not many schools that are satisfied to re-
ceive the state aid fund and not be high
schools. Where this is true it will not be
long before all will be high schools in real
ity, as we'll as in name.
